Harry Styles fav’d a very NSFW tweet—and now #HarryDontLickAnything is trending

We should probably just slap a NSFW label on Harry Styles’s entire existence at this point.

Note to Harry Styles: You have 21 million Twitter followers waiting to launch into an epic meltdown over your every move.

What did you think was going to happen when you favorited a tweet from an adult performer?

Sometimes journalists are called upon to do truly important cultural work. Today #HarryDontLickAnything is a worldwide trend on Twitter, and I’m here to explain why. You might want to make sure you’re sitting down.

@ItzFuckingJess is the Internet handle for an up-and-coming erotic star who does private Skype shows. On her (very NSFW) Twitter account, she has a steady stream of erotic and explicit photos and messages to her 60,000 followers—a number that’s skyrocketing today thanks to a very unexpected source: a member of One Direction.

Last night, apparently just before going offline, Styles favorited a very provocative, extremely not-work-safe tweet that Jess made in May.

Styles’s fav (he’s since unfavorited the tweet) was instantly spotted by the eagle-eyed One Direction fandom, who immediately had a meltdown over it. The fav could have been accidental—after all, as of last night, Styles only had 11 favorites total. But the tweet was made in May, so it would be hard to imagine Styles stumbling across it unless he went looking for it, if you get our drift. And as One Direction fans know, it wouldn’t be the first time he’s wandered into scandal over this particular anatomical area.
